  Goodbye, sorrow

  Heavy Feelings
  I have heavy feelings tonight. Ones I’ve had for awhile. They’ve been festering inside me. They aren’t that disruptive. Except for when I sit alone with myself, only my thoughts to entertain me. They have been tugging at me, these feelings. But it’s easier to …

  Contradictory Cups
  Some days I feel like I’m on cloud nine. All of the scenarios I planned in my head go through just as they should. I’m flying through the air, too high to care about the fall. Smiling and laughing and playing and hoping and forgetting …
